Email Time Zone Indicator: +0500

An email sent from someone in the Echo Time Zone (E) time zone will have the time zone listed as "+0500" in the headers of the email. (However, "+0500" does not have to be in Echo Time Zone, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).

Where and When is E Observed?

Echo Time Zone is often used in aviation and the military as another name for UTC +5. Echo Time Zone is also commonly used at sea between longitudes 67.5° East and 82.5° East.

The letter E may be used as a suffix to denote a time being in the Echo Time Zone, such as 08:00E or 0800E. This is spoken as "zero eight hundred Echo".
